VO not actually being good on the PP is a well kept secret around here.

Always looks good the first month, but the league adjusts quickly the second time around.

I was apart of the olofsson is overrated crowd / fan club president for the last year or so. Ever since Eichel left. He’s useless

Those 3 playing well the rest of the way would put a lot of pressure on KA. Rosen gets no mention, but 2 years post draft, he really should.
- Lunaion

Agreed, Rosen has really grown the 2nd half of the season. Him and Kulich are really good friends.

Appert said he's gonna move Savoie around a bit. Said they really like his Right Shot of the Wing.

What a terrible precedent set by management that you can be absolutely horrible, the team lives at the bottom of the league during the entirety of his tenure - who only became a leader because he was the only player legally allowed to rent a car last season, gets taken care of.

Something needs to give this offseason. Can only buy so much time before starting to make some of these decisions.
- Lunaion


For sure, and those are the decisions that matter most IMO.

Good teams draft well, but you'll never bat 100%. The great teams are able to still get value even for the guys who may come up short relative to their draft position or vision for their cup team.

They've been shopping him for a while now, no takers. Nobody cares about the ppg if the player offers negative value when he's not in the act of shooting.

Thats the misconception with offensive players. Tage is a liability in his own end, but when he's not scoring, he can still do a fair bit in terms of playmaking or puck possession. Ditto Skinner.

But olofsson doesn't offer anything outside of his shot. He's not much of a playmaker, he's not strong on the puck, he doesn't shoot for volume. It's not that he's useless but his value is so niche that unless he's replacing a total liability in the lineup, you almost certainly lose that swap.

So the Sabres will resign him as a thank you.

Now you have done it.
Preach on brother, however you realize that Boss will enter the frey and light you up on your Olofsson take, them somehow tie it to Sam sucking and how valuable Risto was.

yeah there's that too. The other thing is some of the data is now showing for most teams an 11/7 lineup is more optimal, which just leaves one less bottom six spot for Olofsson to take up on whatever team tries to add him.

Sabres out in front of the league again leading the charge with 15 F and 3 D

looool for real. Although I think we're one of the few teams where it makes sense to keep a full 4th line in tact.

Kulich is going to be a fun one. Just makes the right play every time.

Weird but is he Cozensesque?
